:01:10. > :01:16.A Grand Slam goes to Wales! Good evening, welcome to this Six
:01:16. > :01:19.Nations special. A weekend of high emotion as Wales win their third
:01:20. > :01:24.Grand Slam in eight seasons. This time last year, who would have
:01:24. > :01:28.thought that in the space of five months we would be World Cup semi-
:01:28. > :01:34.finalists and Six Nations champions? I will be chatting to
:01:34. > :01:41.the old guard. First, let's hear from a man of the match, Dan
:01:41. > :01:50.Lydiate. You have got to do it to win a Grand Slam. I'm glad it is
:01:50. > :02:00.over. And joining us tonight, Jonathan Davies, Kingsley Jones and
:02:00. > :02:20.
:02:20. > :02:30.Chamakh -- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Welcome back. What a date! And
:02:30. > :02:32.
:02:32. > :02:37.Knight... It was an incredible day. I am just wondering how many people
:02:38. > :02:43.will turn up for work tomorrow. fitting tribute to a man much loved
:02:43. > :02:47.by Welsh Rugby? The crowd was superb yesterday. It was at its
:02:47. > :02:52.that to start, in memory of Mervyn Davies, and the minute's silence
:02:52. > :02:57.was impeccable. The team winning the Grand Slam, several players
:02:57. > :03:05.said this morning that they do it for Mervyn. Three Grand Slams in
:03:05. > :03:11.eight seasons, what an achievement? Fantastic. The thing I enjoyed
:03:11. > :03:18.boast was when the boys did a lap of honour. Everyone just stood and
:03:18. > :03:26.applauded. It was fantastic. When did you watch the game? -- where
:03:26. > :03:29.did. I watched it in a restaurant in Georgia. There were 17 plasma
:03:29. > :03:34.screens, all showing Wales. Everyone was congratulating me as
:03:34. > :03:41.if I had played, it was fantastic. It really made you proud to be
:03:41. > :03:51.Welsh. Everybody was over the moon. How did you get on? I don't want to
:03:51. > :03:51.
:03:51. > :04:47.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds
:04:48. > :04:57.tell you! It began with a minute's Lovely pass by Priestland. Beware
:04:58. > :04:58.
:04:58. > :05:56.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 56 seconds
:05:56. > :06:06.the French are more! -- the French gear. WHISTLE BLOWS. Wheels have
:06:06. > :06:30.
:06:30. > :06:36.used all of their back row. The a magnificent finish! That is what
:06:36. > :06:46.you have to do, you have to get the ball through a hands and turn it
:06:46. > :07:02.
:07:02. > :07:12.WHISTLE BLOWS. The Welsh have a penalty. France always under

:11:38. > :11:38.
:11:38. > :11:48.third Grand Slam and second years. We have turnover ball. Penalty to
:11:48. > :11:53.
:11:53. > :12:03.Wales. Wales have won the Grand Slam! It
:12:03. > :12:19.
:12:19. > :12:26.What a game, what an atmosphere. Let's hear from the team. I put my
:12:26. > :12:34.body on the line. You have got to do it to win a Grand Slam. It was
:12:34. > :12:41.the first chance for a lot of us. We are just over the moon. Last
:12:41. > :12:50.match of the Six Nations at home, what can be better? Honour those
:12:50. > :12:55.ridiculous sessions we did, I guess it has paid off, brilliant. It was
:12:55. > :13:02.just one of those games, you think, it can be a draw. At least it was a
:13:02. > :13:05.draw we would not lose. But you want to go for gold, don't you?
:13:05. > :13:12.What was the feeling walking round the stadium with 70,000 people
:13:13. > :13:17.applauding you? It was so real, to be honest. I remember thinking how
:13:17. > :13:22.proud I was of a team in the past and to be part of a Grand Slam
:13:22. > :13:26.winning side is something that for me personally, I never dreamt of
:13:26. > :13:32.Avon playing in the Six Nations but playing in the Grand Slam is very
:13:32. > :13:39.special. As a team, we haven't played that sort of match in a long
:13:39. > :13:44.time. It was pretty simple. We scored some pretty special tries.
:13:44. > :13:51.That was a game for kicking and chasing and it was hard work.
:13:51. > :13:55.boys had to dig deep and show some toughness and character and
:13:55. > :14:02.hopefully, it is their real turning-point for Welsh rugby. They
:14:02. > :14:08.have shown some great courage in this tournament. They have come
:14:08. > :14:18.through. It was an incredible atmosphere on
:14:18. > :14:21.
:14:21. > :14:26.that page. It has been a privilege to allies
:14:26. > :14:36.this. 75% of the squad are probably three or four years of their best.
:14:36. > :14:37.
:14:37. > :14:44.They said the World Cup was a It was all about territory against
:14:44. > :14:48.France, playing in their own half. France were under pressure, 17
:14:48. > :14:52.kicks. That reflects their under pressure. Let's look at the
:14:52. > :15:02.comparisons. Comparing with England they were second in the
:15:02. > :15:05.
:15:05. > :15:13.field, and that is reflected. Every time they visited the 22, a try
:15:13. > :15:21.every four visits. Really confident in having ball in hand. A team
:15:21. > :15:26.offloading usually wins. Look at the comparison. If you want to win
:15:26. > :15:29.in the Six Nations you have got to tackle strongly. Defence and
:15:29. > :15:37.territory when the impressive things that caught my eye. They
:15:37. > :15:41.talk about being clinical in their game, clinical pulls not -- doesn't
:15:41. > :15:51.necessarily mean tries. They are talking to each other and keep on
:15:51. > :15:55.
:15:56. > :16:02.They are composed. France are going nowhere. The Welsh team guard their
:16:02. > :16:05.line. But they have done so throughout the tournament. France
:16:05. > :16:15.are going to get frustrated, because that line is not going to
:16:15. > :16:18.
:16:18. > :16:28.be broken. Jamie Roberts advancing. That makes a difference. Lloyd
:16:28. > :16:28.
:16:28. > :16:34.Williams getting stuck in. Look at Adam Jones! Giving 110%. The
:16:34. > :16:44.kicking game was so instrumental. Graceland and Halfpenny while world
:16:44. > :16:50.
:16:50. > :16:58.class. -- were world class. This is a long kick. It's about keeping the
:16:58. > :17:05.ball in play. Leigh Halfpenny, he had a superb Grand Slam. Wales have
:17:05. > :17:11.done us proud. There are no stats for commitment to the cause, but
:17:11. > :17:18.all those elements were there. They have done their coaches, their
:17:18. > :17:23.family, and their coaches, and the greater Mervyn Davies, proud.
:17:23. > :17:33.Wales showed great guts and determination. The rout the
:17:33. > :17:36.
:17:36. > :17:44.tournament, to be fair. -- throughout. The England performance
:17:44. > :17:47.typical that their defence. They have had to work hard. What have
:17:47. > :17:56.you made of their desire? In it has been brilliant. I have enjoyed
:17:56. > :18:06.watching them. France were always going to be negative. They wanted
:18:06. > :18:12.it to be a dogfight. They have been magnificent all the way through.
:18:13. > :18:22.The defence, as we saw in the stats, it has been amazing. We saw a great
:18:23. > :18:25.
:18:25. > :18:32.bunch of lads. One man put his body on the line, than litigate -- Dan
:18:33. > :18:40.Lydiate. He is old fashioned type of player. He is hitting people
:18:40. > :18:43.around the ankles. A big part of the Welsh game is the turnover. He
:18:43. > :18:51.puts the defender in a position, I'm sorry, the attacker, he puts
:18:51. > :19:01.them in a position that they don't want to be in. For me, the player
:19:01. > :19:03.
:19:03. > :19:08.of the tournament. You sat there in October, you picked him out, a
:19:08. > :19:17.great performance. I was a flanker as well, he's the type of player
:19:17. > :19:25.that they coach once. -- that a coach would want. The number of
:19:25. > :19:29.tackles, the carries, he is worth his weight in gold. Let's talk
:19:29. > :19:36.about Rhys Priestland, there was some critics against Italy, but he
:19:36. > :19:41.controlled the game well yesterday. He could have let his head drop.
:19:41. > :19:51.Warren Gatland was very wise. The captain on the field. Yesterday,
:19:51. > :19:51.
:19:51. > :19:56.there was the odd radio kick, but generally kicked long. He put the
:19:56. > :20:02.French defence under pressure. He came good in the second half. He
:20:02. > :20:10.kept a Wales down there, where they wanted to be to win the game. He
:20:10. > :20:16.played very well. I thought he put some lovely passes on for our
:20:16. > :20:23.players. He orchestrates the defence. He brings people into the
:20:23. > :20:33.game. I have been impressed with him, he's going to get better and
:20:33. > :20:33.
:20:33. > :20:43.better. Australia is coming up, that will be a hard test. There are
:20:43. > :20:44.
:20:44. > :20:51.so many players you can pick out. - - we were worried about Alex
:20:51. > :21:01.Cuthbert, when you have up your boots. -- when you hung up your
:21:01. > :21:03.
:21:03. > :21:13.boots. It doesn't make me look good, does it! He is much bigger than
:21:13. > :21:16.
:21:16. > :21:19.you! He is coming on leaps and bounds. This is his first season. I
:21:19. > :21:24.had helped him. He has been outstanding, I have enjoyed
:21:24. > :21:34.watching him. He has developed into a good player. He can read the game,
:21:34. > :21:34.
:21:34. > :21:44.he works hard off his wing. He has shown that is up there with the
:21:44. > :21:53.
:21:53. > :21:57.Best. His story is a great. In the Ireland game, they're all great.
:21:57. > :22:04.That is the whole thing, the squad have come together. That is a sign
:22:04. > :22:14.of a great team. When some players are not have the Best, the other
:22:14. > :22:18.
:22:18. > :22:21.stand up and be counted. -- are not on the top form. You have to give
:22:21. > :22:31.Warren Gatland a huge amount of credit for bringing these young
:22:31. > :22:32.
:22:32. > :22:41.players through. 100%. The guys he has brought in, he has given them
:22:41. > :22:46.confidence. The young fellows coming in, they are at a great age.
:22:46. > :22:54.Ryan Jones, what a man. He was dropped as captain, but he has come
:22:54. > :23:02.in and got better and better. He has done a great job. I think the
:23:02. > :23:12.balance they have, with the young lads, the front-row experience,
:23:12. > :23:12.
:23:12. > :23:20.it's a great balance. I wish we could play the All Blacks next week.
:23:20. > :23:27.I do, as long as Dan Carter is still injured!
:23:27. > :23:33.There is tremendous strength in depth. Yes there is. I spoke to
:23:33. > :23:43.Sanne yesterday, he had mixed emotions. To come off injured, he
:23:43. > :23:53.was desperately disappointed. Ryan James came on, he was outstanding.
:23:53. > :23:54.
:23:54. > :23:58.-- Ryan Jones. I have never seen a depth like this before. You have
:23:58. > :24:06.three players in the squad who have won Grand Slams, is that just luck,
:24:06. > :24:12.or something special? I think it is something special. They are bad
:24:13. > :24:21.injuries coming to the tournament, they have come back without much
:24:21. > :24:31.gain time. They have shown their class. It shows how much faith the
:24:31. > :24:32.
:24:32. > :24:39.coaching staff having them. Ryan Jones equalled the record as
:24:39. > :24:43.captain, and he has come on and played superbly well. You have Ian
:24:43. > :24:53.Evans, a team-mate of yours, he has won every Six Nations game he has
:24:53. > :24:55.
:24:55. > :25:05.played in. He is a super player. He is unsung, he has been brilliant
:25:05. > :25:05.
:25:05. > :25:10.every time. We will hear more from you later.
:25:10. > :25:20.We are celebrating a Wales grand- slam, but it was a day of mixed
:25:20. > :25:20.
:25:20. > :25:25.emotions. Words like legend an icon are
:25:26. > :25:33.bandied about far too easily. Not in the case of Mervyn Davies. His
:25:33. > :25:43.incredible skills and athleticism made him one of the all-time greats,
:25:43. > :25:43.
:25:43. > :25:49.in world rugby. Had his career and not -- had his career not been cut
:25:49. > :25:59.short, he would have added to his caps. He had 30th for Wales, and
:25:59. > :26:04.two successful Lions tours. He was instantly recognisable. He was a
:26:04. > :26:08.natural leader. Quietly spoken, not a man to waste his words. He did
:26:08. > :26:18.his talking on the field. Rugby fans the world over will talk about
:26:18. > :26:24.
:26:24. > :26:32.It's fair to say he was quite a character. I had the privilege of
:26:32. > :26:42.going to East Africa with them -- going to South Africa with him. We
:26:42. > :26:46.
:26:46. > :26:54.drank l'art! -- we drank a lot of beer! We have a Sunday school, we
:26:54. > :27:04.went on a boat trip. We were dying before we got on the boats, when I
:27:04. > :27:14.saw the sea, I didn't think I could go on. DEC got rather than offer. -

:27:22. > :27:32.Mervyn Davies was there, a pint in one hand, and some boiled eggs in
:27:32. > :27:42.
:27:42. > :27:45.the other. He called us pansies! Wonderful memories. We talk about
:27:45. > :27:55.your period, do you think we are looking at a new golden period for
:27:55. > :27:57.
:27:57. > :28:01.Welsh rugby? They have some great men in charge. Shaun Edwards is
:28:01. > :28:05.unique, they have brought a winning element into the Welsh side. They
:28:05. > :28:09.are the fitter side in world rugby. If they can get those fitness
:28:09. > :28:17.levels going, the strength in depth, they can go down to Australia and
:28:17. > :28:25.put their hand up. They need to be those kinds of sides. There is no
:28:25. > :28:35.limit to what they can achieve. Let's get some more action for you
:28:35. > :28:38.
:28:38. > :28:48.Let's get some more action for you now. Wales' women took on France.
:28:48. > :28:49.
:28:49. > :28:54.The French side ran in five tries. They have a top point lead at the
:28:54. > :29:03.break. The one-way traffic continued in the second half. This
:29:03. > :29:13.try was the pick of the bunch. England's dominance of the women's

:34:31. > :34:33.
:34:33. > :34:41.coach, they are playing well. I was talking about this last week. We
:34:41. > :34:46.said that Farrell is a very good man. That combination, and we were
:34:46. > :34:53.saying maybe they would go for a Nick Mallett. Why go for a big name
:34:53. > :34:59.when a bloke is doing his job. He cannot do any more. They have got
:34:59. > :35:04.to put faith in him now. Saracens will want to keep Farrell. I think
:35:04. > :35:07.they should give him the job and carry on. What do you think, should
:35:07. > :35:14.they give the job to Stuart Lancaster? The reaction of the
:35:14. > :35:19.players, he has brought them back down to earth. They are now very
:35:19. > :35:22.humble, they are very back to the fans. He should be the man for the
:35:22. > :35:28.job. What worries me is that the big names in England are shedding
:35:28. > :35:33.Nick Mallett. I would go for it Stuart Lancaster. Is he the man to
:35:33. > :35:39.see it through? To be fair to Andy Robinson, I think he could probably
:35:39. > :35:43.walk out of Scotland and walk into a very good job. He hasn't got a
:35:43. > :35:48.great pool of players. He has brought some good players through.
:35:48. > :35:54.Unfortunately, international rugby is about winning and his record is
:35:54. > :35:59.not good enough. He may be feeling on the fact that he wants to play a
:35:59. > :36:02.similar style to Wales but everyone is saying about the cutting edge of
:36:02. > :36:07.midfield. Unfortunately sometimes you have to play to the strength of
:36:07. > :36:13.the team. The only thing I would be critical of his is he playing to
:36:13. > :36:17.the strength of the Scottish team? The back row was impressive?
:36:17. > :36:21.scrums are not bed -- bad and the back row is not bad and you have
:36:21. > :36:31.got people who can kick the ball. You do not build your game unless
:36:31. > :36:34.
:36:34. > :36:39.you get some wins. They have got no balance in midfield. They cannot
:36:39. > :36:43.get the ball to them so it is a waste of time. They had two yellow
:36:43. > :36:51.cards yesterday. It is not the coach's fault when they are doing
:36:51. > :36:56.stupid things on the fault. -- on the pitch. If you are a man short
:36:56. > :37:00.you are very lucky to score a point. If you can score points, you are in
:37:00. > :37:07.trouble. Let's get more reaction to the
:37:07. > :37:12.Grand Slam. Earlier we spoke to a legend and Scrum V favourite...
:37:12. > :37:17.Wales have won the Grand Slam. Next, a three-match Test series in
:37:17. > :37:21.Australia. I have been given the responsibility of getting some
:37:22. > :37:26.action from that neck of the woods. We have a time delay and my brain
:37:26. > :37:36.delay, which could be interesting! Let's see who we all speak to this
:37:36. > :37:38.
:37:39. > :37:46.morning. It is... The maestro himself, welcome to Scrum V. Good
:37:46. > :37:50.morning, or good evening for you guys. Who cares what time of day it
:37:50. > :37:56.is, lovely to see you. Wales won the Grand Slam. How has it been
:37:56. > :38:01.received on the other side of the world? About time, a lot of people
:38:02. > :38:06.were thinking. The Welsh from last year have demonstrated they have
:38:06. > :38:11.got a side that can go further in the competition. I was disappointed
:38:11. > :38:20.with the way they finished. Alex Cuthbert is coming up quietly on
:38:20. > :38:27.the rails? I get abused by a lot of Welsh people on Twitter. Someone
:38:27. > :38:35.said, get ready for this young very coming through, he is 7 ft 1 or 4
:38:35. > :38:39.never. He has grown a few inches. That's great try-scoring. A lot of
:38:39. > :38:44.people round the world will be worried because the Welsh are going
:38:44. > :38:48.to come to Australia this year. So, three Tests and they could be in
:38:48. > :38:52.good stead when the Six Nations and showing under pressure that they
:38:53. > :38:56.can play good rugby. So you are saying there you are worried about
:38:56. > :39:06.his in Australia, worried that the latter coming?
:39:06. > :39:07.
:39:07. > :39:11.It is about time that they have got a great team together and are being
:39:11. > :39:15.competitive. In previous years, you had one-off Tests and Wales were
:39:15. > :39:20.always hard to beat at home. But then they travelled and his
:39:20. > :39:30.struggle. Let's see who as we can find on the
:39:30. > :39:31.
:39:31. > :39:37.way. We were clearly the victim of a New Zealand-island flat during
:39:37. > :39:46.the World Cup to make sure that Wales did not get in the final. The
:39:46. > :39:51.real best team in the world were denied in Auckland. We are just
:39:51. > :39:54.going to have to wait until 2015. This Welsh team are officially
:39:55. > :40:03.acknowledging three Grand Slams in eight years. This is a golden
:40:03. > :40:13.period for Welsh rugby. When they held that trophy aloft, it looked
:40:13. > :40:17.
:40:17. > :40:22.good. Let these guys just play rugby. Don't panic, don't get
:40:22. > :40:32.nervous, just get right behind the Alliance and push them through to
:40:32. > :40:34.
:40:34. > :40:43.2015. -- behind the lads. Playing against Australia is a opportunity
:40:43. > :40:53.for Wales to prove their credentials. Fans have been gagging
:40:53. > :40:57.
:40:57. > :41:05.for a proper rugby. We need more line scorers. We are a competitive
:41:05. > :41:08.outfit. We are going to crush the criminals in their own backyard!
:41:08. > :41:18.is always a great pleasure to see you. It is much more fun to have a
:41:18. > :41:20.
:41:20. > :41:26.beer with you. Enjoy this fantastic Grand Slam.
:41:26. > :41:36.Getting very excited about Wales's tour to Australia. What do the boys
:41:36. > :41:41.
:41:41. > :41:51.It is massive. We need to get out their anger to resolve. This is a
:41:51. > :41:54.new era, a new side. It was a real tight Six Nations, if you look back
:41:54. > :42:02.at it. They know, when the chips are down, when things are tight,
:42:02. > :42:07.they can go out and win it. I think they'll be looking forward to going
:42:07. > :42:17.to Australia, take the spoils. have to send a message, that we up
:42:17. > :42:20.
:42:20. > :42:30.for it. I think so. Everybody will take notice. It is time to deliver.
:42:30. > :42:34.
:42:34. > :42:44.A great staff. -- great staff. The you think Warren Gatland is the
:42:44. > :42:47.
:42:47. > :42:55.favourite for the British lines job? I think so. -- British Lions.
:42:55. > :43:05.He has a great record. Semi-finals of the World Cup, three glans lambs.
:43:05. > :43:07.
:43:07. > :43:16.-- Grand Slams. To Wales wanting to be the -- would Wales wanted to be
:43:16. > :43:22.the British Lions coach? I think so. If he wants the job, they should
:43:22. > :43:32.let him have it. Thanks very much. Would you like to see Warren
:43:32. > :43:34.
:43:34. > :43:44.Gatland in the British Lions job? think it is a definite. He has a
:43:44. > :43:44.
:43:44. > :43:54.great coaching team. I can see Graham Rowntree being the forwards
:43:54. > :44:02.coach, there will be a lot of Welsh players on the tour. It makes sense
:44:02. > :44:07.for Warren to get the job. Summer tours after their chance to bring
:44:07. > :44:14.young players in, but this is different. We have won a Grand
:44:14. > :44:17.Slams before, and fallen short on tours. It is tough down there. You
:44:17. > :44:22.are playing them in their backyard. The Best teams in the world, the
:44:22. > :44:27.Best players in the world. Now is the time to go out there, we are
:44:27. > :44:32.full of confidence. What Wales are known to have to learn to do, is to
:44:32. > :44:37.come back when they are losing games. The squad they got, now is
:44:37. > :44:47.the time to go there. I would much rather go to Australia Banner New
:44:47. > :44:47.
:44:47. > :44:54.Zealand also paprika. -- than in New Zealand or South Africa. It is
:44:54. > :44:59.all about the world rankings, getting up as high as possible?
:44:59. > :45:09.There is nothing like beating the Australians. That is the only way
:45:09. > :45:13.
:45:13. > :45:18.you get respect of them. -- off Ben. Sometimes they don't show you
:45:18. > :45:28.respect. It is a great opportunity. Hopefully we won't have too many
:45:28. > :45:28.
:45:28. > :45:33.injuries. It is not a one-off, you have time to adjust to the country.
:45:33. > :45:37.I want to talk to about Warren Gatland. He always impresses me
:45:37. > :45:47.when he gives an interview. Is he the greatest Welsh coach we have
:45:47. > :45:48.
:45:49. > :45:55.ever had? There have been some great coaches. He has won 50 caps
:45:55. > :46:05.for the All Blacks. They have been some great coaches. He has I
:46:05. > :46:07.
:46:07. > :46:11.fantastic job. -- done a fantastic job. A few years ago we didn't have
:46:11. > :46:20.the strength to compete with the Australians. This time he has a
:46:20. > :46:30.great chance of taking the lads out there, and pinching some results.
:46:30. > :46:40.There has to be a succession policy if he takes the British lines jobs.
:46:40. > :46:46.
:46:46. > :46:56.-- British Lions. I think Rob has enough experience to takeover. I
:46:56. > :47:05.would leave it as it is, even if he has to take a sabbatical. You're
:47:05. > :47:15.watching it in a studio, had about feel? It was tough. -- how did that
:47:15. > :47:16.
:47:16. > :47:21.feel? I was on pins and needles. The way they have won the Games, it
:47:21. > :47:27.has given me bonkers. It has been brilliant. I have really enjoyed it.
:47:27. > :47:36.I find it difficult when they are singing the anthems. It has been
:47:36. > :47:46.fantastic. I'm a lucky charm, five games commentating, five wins.
:47:46. > :47:50.
:47:50. > :47:55.Thank you very much. Thanks to my guests. It began in Dublin, it
:47:55. > :48:05.ended in Cardiff with 250,000 people letting loose in a Grand
